9. Which camp should I attend? Is there one near me?
Whether you're a new high school player
or an aging post-40 player,
there's a camp for you to improve your
skills and play. They're
located everywhere and are usually run by a 'famous' coach
or
player, who may or may not be a good teacher.
Check out the VB
magazines mentioned, but the best recommendations come
from
friends who have attended one.

10. What volleyball sanctioning organizations are out there?
There are a number, including
(sorry about the parochialism):
FIVB/IVBF - Federation Internationale de Volleyball /
International Volleyball Federation
USAV - United States Volleyball (formerly USVBA)
AVP - Association of Volleyball Professionals
WPVA - Women's Professional Volleyball Association
CBVA - California Beach Volleyball Association
AVCA - American Volleyball Coaches Association
CVA - Canadian Volleyball Association
11. Where do I get a copy of the current Rule Book?
You can get the current 1999-2000 USA
Volleyball
Rule Book online:
More questions arise from rules than any other source, but most are answered
in
the Rule Book. Everyone above the jungle ball level should have a copy of the Rule Book (and read it!). I'll be parochial and say that
the USAV Rules provide pretty good coverage. The USAV Rules indicate whenever FIVB or AVP rules differ from USAV rules.
Rules Notation: The Rules in general refer to the
most current USAV Rules.
Where rules vary, from association
to association, we have tried to make comment
of this fact. The USAV also has a Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP) with many books, videos,
courses & other resources for vb coaches.
